– MUĞLA - TURKEY Altitude:
24 m Scenic Köyceğiz Lake, located near to Dalaman
Airport and within convenient distance of Fethiye and Marmaris, is well known
for its natural hot springs and mud baths. The lake narrows into a channel,
flowing into the Dalyan River and emptying into the Mediterranean at one of
Turkey's most spectacular beaches. The beach is the breeding ground of the
Caretta caretta sea turtle. The reed-edged river meanders to the sea,
surmounted by 4th century BC Lycian rock tombs. Nearby are the ruins of the
ancient city of Counos. Capacity Situated next to a natural channel between K6ycegiz
Lake and the Mediterranean Sea, the Rıza Çavuş Thermal Baths form a
water pool and a mud pond, with a flow rate of about eight liters per second.
The mud and mineral baths can accommodate 1,000 persons per day. A second
spring, Velibey Thermal Baths, is located 1.5 km north of Rıza
Çavuş, has similar qualities and a flow rate of 20 liters per second. Physlo-chemical
characteristics and indications The Riza Çavuş natural hot springs contain
sodium chloride, hydrogen sulfur, bromide, fluoride, natural radio active
(3,770 picokuri/liter = 139 bekerel/liter), with a total salt and mineral
content of 28 gr./liter. Temperature of the mud and water is 30 to 3800, and
PH about 6.5. Having very attractive physlo-chemical qualities,
these hot springs are good for the treatment of rheumatic, dermatological and
gynecological diseases, as well as neurological and physical exhaustion. Treatments
and accommodation The Köyceğiz baths do not
offer overnight accommodation. Most visitors stay at small hotels and
pensions in nearby Dalyan. The baths can be reached from Dalyan by small
boats. The treatment consists of covering
the body with a layer of mud and then soaking in the hot mineral waters. At
Sultaniye it is possible to find accommodation in village houses for up to
400 persons. |
